Allen,

Thank you so much.  That means more than you can imagine Sir..... coming from the Lehigh Jedi.

Your humble Padawan.

Thinking of starting another.... this time using that 48" barrel, but having it smoothbored to make a smooth rifle??? What do you think??

[AMartin]

Don't let me stop you !!!! Carry on dude !!!

Dane........nice job on a difficult gun.   You even nailed the trigger which I usually check, so many builders don't do it......

That's a stunningly beautiful rifle. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice, all around, great looking piece.  And, I'm with Tom, I think the babe is hot!

Dane, you're no longer a rank amature. That's a hard style to capture and you did it very well!

When I saw those big tacks I thought you were building it for Mike Nesbitt LOL

Thought I'd update the photos, before I sell the old girl.  Finally had time to do a little better job on the photos.

I like it, but I'm surprised you can let it go so fast!

Question maybe you or Allan can answer about the cheek star.  Every time I see one they just look so honking huge the way the come down into the molding and go up onto the comb, anybody know why they were done that way?  They always hit me as odd, like a bad tattoo on a hot girl.

Osprey,

That is just one of the many oddities of the Lehigh.  Part of the reason I'm in love with the style.  Big Ole cheekstars, and lots of curves.  Put your thumb against your right nostril and shoot.
